Charleston Animal Society
We are one of the oldest Humane Societies in the United States established 149 years ago. We operate a 31,000 sq ft lifesaving shelter which houses over 8,000 animals a year. We are open 7 days a week and operate two High Quality-Low Fee Spay and Neuter clinics. We reunite lost pets with their guardians and educate thousands of children in local schools. Charleston Animal Society continues to fight animal cruelty, find safe homes for abandoned animals and reduce pet overpopulation. The greatest challenge facing the agency today is finding space and resources to increase pet adoptions as the number of abandoned pets increases steadily with our growing community.
